About the event
JOURNAL: Ch 4: 2 Self-Portrait
ICEBREAKER: Compliment Circle: Each participant writes down a positive quality or strength they see in themselves and one they see in the person sitting next to them. They then share these compliments with the group.
OBJECTIVE: Encourage self-reflection on personal strengths and areas of self-criticism. Promote self-awareness and understanding of how self-criticism impacts self-esteem. Facilitate expression of emotions and thoughts through art. Foster group support and sharing of experiences related to self-love and self-criticism.
DISCUSS: How do you typically feel during each season? Are there specific memories or experiences associated with certain seasons for you? Have you noticed any patterns in your mood or behavior throughout the year? How do you cope with changes in mood during different seasons? What strategies have you found helpful in managing your emotions during challenging seasons?
PROJECT: Create a visual representation of Self that captures both how they see themselves and how they would like to see themselves.
REFLECT: "What was it like to create a self-portrait? Did you notice any self-critical thoughts coming up?" How did you balance self-love and self-criticism in your artwork?" "What did you learn about yourself through this process?" "How can we work towards more self-love in our daily lives?
CLOSE: Express gratitude for participation and openness. Provide resources for further support or exploration of the theme if needed. Summarize key insights and takeaways from the session.
